On Tuesday August 18 for our weekly training crews participated in a basic water rescue response training. We focused on proper launching of Marine 1, using the proper ppe, as well as one and two victim extrication from Hinckley Reservoir. All members were then given the opportunity to participate in a water rescue scenario. To conclude the evening, we simulated a 2 person rescue at dusk forcing members to prioritize victims based upon length of exposure, panic level and injury assessment.
The addition of Marine 1 allows for deployment to both major waterways Hinckley Reservoir and Kayuta Lake within the coverage district. Specialized training such as this allows our members to be prepared for the different types of responses that our department is called to. Thank you to the dedicated members who participated.
If you are interested in becoming a member stop at the fire station any Tuesday night at 7:00 and pick up an application. As you can see we do more than just fight fires.

On Tuesday night August 25 for weekly training members were dispatched to a simulated rescue call behind the fire station involving a male and a child who were on a riding lawnmower that had rolled over. Members responded with the rescue arrived on scene and treated the situation as though it was a real emergency. They encountered a child trapped under a riding lawnmower. Members practiced using the air bags to lift the mower off of the child and remove them from under the mower. Following that they practiced lifting various objects that had fallen on top of or that a small child could become stuck under.
Scenarios such as these allow our members to practice proper lifting, stabilizing and removal techniques from different situations that responders could be called to.
Specialized rescue situations such as these are just one of the many different types of responses the department responds to.
